Trouble with ProtonTricks. Trying to mod games
I've been trying to use Protontricks to run .exe and .bat files in order to mod KOTOR to play in widescreen. Here's my system:
I know protontricks has to find the game's compatdata in order to run the right environment, but the app can't seem to find the right directory.
For clarity, I'm playing the steam version of KOTOR. I installed Steam through Snap and the version is:
When I try to search for games with Protontricks with protontricks -l, I get this:
The file path used to search for the steam library is wrong. I have two NVMEs in my system the first one has my root installation, the second NVME has all my steam games. This NVME is mounted to a folder on my desktop labeled SecondDrive. The real path is this:
/home/timothy/Desktop/SecondDrive/SteamLibrary
But when I try to run protontricks with the STEAM_DIR environment variable, I get this:
As you can see from my working directory, this is a real directory on my system, so I don't know why the app doesn't see this as a valid steam installation.
I would like to get this working and perhaps mod other games in the future. If there's some way to mod the game without going through Protontricks, or an easier way to run .exe or .bat files, that would be nice.

CachyOS Bluetooth headset voice config
Ok, CachyOS, having issues with headset.
Logitech G435 Bluetooth. Arc raiders, if it matters.
I can only get voice to work in game if I set the headset’s profile to “Headset Head Unit (HSP/HFP, codec mSBC)” or “…codec CVSD)”.
Both profiles apply to both output and input, and make game sound distant and tinny. Both profiles make everything mono.
I have 3 other options for profiles, all “High Fidelity Playback (A2DP Sink, codec SBC)” or “…codec SBC-XQ)” or “…codec AAC)”, which makes the audio sound fuller and as it should sound.
But if I use any of these profiles, I get no voice.
I did notice with I tested the mic in Steam the voice test playback was richer.
But I can’t get good output and any input except to use a headset head unit profile for both input and output.
Any thoughts?

Goverlay 1.7.0 - New proton tweaks tab, FP8 emulation in optiscaler and flatpak fixes
Hello Linux Gamers from Reddit !
Goverlay 1.7.0 is officially here, packed with features to make your gaming experience smoother. This release focuses on deeper integration and easier management of your environment variables.
Highlights
- Goodbye "Global Enable", Hello "Auto Enable": We’ve replaced the controversial Global Enable with a smarter, FGMod-based "Auto Enable" system.
- Integrated FGMod: FGMod scripts are now embedded directly into the GOverlay binary. Plus, we’ve improved dynamic path detection for both Native and Flatpak thanks to u/DistantThunder.
New Proton Tweaks Tab
- A dedicated space to manage environment variables effortlessly.
-One-click HDR, GameMode, and Wayland support.
-Radeon RT emulation for older GPUs.
-Custom environment variables support.
OptiScaler Updates
- Added an FP8 emulation toggle (a handy workaround for RDNA3 GPUs)
- improved UI behavior when OptiScaler is missing.
- fixes for flatpak optiscaler not working correctly
**Bug Fixes & UI:**

How do I run sober without a desktop environment?
I have a very minimal debian ssh server with no desktop environment. There is a game on roblox that I would like to afk in but, I will have to use graphical interface since there is a specific place I need to walk to to afk. I couldn't find anything on this, I'd just like to know how I can run sober with graphical interface, and no desktop environment, and then leave it running on my server.

Steam Frame with Intel Quick Sync, the big question 🤯
Hey everyone!
So, I'm hesitating between a Core Ultra K or KF (don't yell at me, I have reasons... mostly psychological 🤣), for a dedicated or nearly dedicated PCVR with a 5070 Ti. The big question that's arisen from my hesitation is: 👉: Will Intel Quick Sync improve the wireless connection provided by the Steam Frame dongle? 👈
(You need an iGPU for Intel Quick Sync, so no F-series processors) Thanks to anyone who has an answer 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️

Disable EAC
Hi guys. This week I was excited about discovering that Ghost Recon Wildlands was GOLD on protondb. So I bought the game on Steam and tried to play with some friends (they're on windows), but the anticheat started kicking me out in our own gameroom.
I've been reading ProtonDB comments and one took my atention: Multijugador En general (online):Didn't Work Kicked by EAC - to bypass this issue, everybody in the lobby needs to disable EAC. • Singleplayer works perfect. • Co-op requires tinkering. • PvP does not work.
Does it mean that there's a solution? If so, please can anybody provide it here?

Minecraft server with haguichi on Arch Linux
Hey! I want to make a minecraft server for me and my friends. On Windows, we downloaded hamachi, make a private network that everyone joined to it, make a minecraft world, open to lan, copy+paste the ipv4 of the person who hosted the network, open mc world to lan, and use the ipv4 and the port number, and everything was good to go! I was wondering, is this works for linux as well somehow? I know linux have haguichi instead of hamachi, but you have to install hamachi aswell. Is there anyone who made a server like this? I dont want to have a third party port forward method, i prefer my "own host".

PlayOnLinux error "urllib.request.URLopener.version = Variables.userAgent # Arg ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: module 'urllib.request' has no attribute 'URLopener' "
Received this error when I launched PlayOnLinux from Bash:
'$ playonlinux4 Looking for python3... 3.14.2 - selected 1.0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/playonlinux4/python/mainwindow.py", line 45, in <module> from setupwindow import gui_server File "/usr/share/playonlinux4/python/setupwindow/gui_server.py", line 28, in <module> from .POL_SetupFrame import POL_SetupFrame File "/usr/share/playonlinux4/python/setupwindow/POL_SetupFrame.py", line 36, in <module> urllib.request.URLopener.version = Variables.userAgent # Arg ... ^ AttributeError: module 'urllib.request' has no attribute 'URLopener'
I actually managed to fix this, so I thought I'd share my solution just in case anyone else has the same issue. For what it's worth I'm running Arch Linux (BTW) and PlayonLinux 4.4.3
The issue is with /usr/share/playonlinux4/python/setupwindow/POL_SetupFrame.py so start by making a copy of the file :
$ sudo cp /usr/share/playonlinux4/python/setupwindow/POL_SetupFrame.py /usr/share/playonlinux4/python/setupwindow/POL_SetupFrame.py.backup
Next open the file in your editor of choice and find line 36 which looks like this urllib.request.URLopener.version = Variables.userAgent # Arg ... and we want to change "URLopener.version" to "urlopen.version", so that the line looks like this:
urllib.request.urlopen.version = Variables.userAgent # Arg ...
I am far from a Linux expert, so I don't fully understand what the issue is or what python-urllib3 module does, but I've ran into issues like this before. I hope this helps someone, if I got some part of this wrong or there's a better way to fix it let me know and I'll update this post.
P.S. Shout out to u/aferriswheel, I was just going to get back to my game of Diablo II but she convinced me to share this first.

Game runs on Bazzite but Steam OS
Hi people, recently i've bought an og ROG Ally and installed Bazzite as my first ever linux experience.
It was't bad but i've had a few problems knowing how to manage the OS and installing software. As a result i've installed Steam OS and the experience has been great and so far better than Bazzite in my opinion.
Yet I have a problem with the main game I play on the console, Elden Ring Nightrein, the game worked fine on Bazzite but it doesn't launch on Steam OS. It kicks me back to the launcher when i run it, just as the Easy Anticheat should kick in. The overlay says that its installing MS VC libraries and DX11.
Does anyone had triste experience before? What can I do to fix triste problem, thak you so much

How do I access files and folders in a Proton/Wine instance(?) from Dolphin or Terminal?
Hi, I'm running the in-game benchmarks for Horizon Zero Dawn and wanted to access the saved results through Dolphin or my terminal to view the benchmark images.
I've tried copy and pasting from within that folder but that's really tedious. I've also tried searching through dolphin but it can't seem to find the file and folder names.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks :)

Nvidia driver for Zoris Os
Hello everyone. Just moved to Zorin os pro from windows as I wanted to support the project. Got fed up from windows and dual booted it to get used to it. I am using Lenovo legion pro 5 with 5070ti graphic card. I installed nvidia drivers using the zorin os installation with nvidia driver as written on their website. I have also turned off secure boot in bios. The laptop just won't show that I have a graphic card, instead it shows integrated intel graphics.I have also trying completely removing the drive and reinstalling it. Like drivers are installing but graphic card is not showing up as hardware. On my Lenovo t480 it works so smooth because there is no nvidia card. But on my legion it lags a little because it is using integrated CPU. Also to add, in additional drivers it automatically chose nvidia proprietary 580. When I check in terminal, the drivers are there just the card is not working somehow. Any help is appreciated.

DisplayPort Adapter Configuration for HDMI Only OLED TV
Hey does anyone have any reccs for getting a better signal to an HDMI only TV? I have purchased one that converts DisplayPort to HDMI but I think I am still having issues with VRR, and well screen tearing absolutely sucks and ruins my experience.
Any tips n tricks? Please don't tell me to get a new display - It's a 144hz 4k OLED that supports free sync. I neither want not need a new TV. If thats the only solution, I will have to leave Linux behind

stick with my 4090 or buy 9070 xt for linux switch?
hello,
i have been playing with linux on another nvme drive and i'm about ready to convert. either mint or cachy (leaning towards mint). i have had some oddball nvidia things with nvidia drivers in my testing and i know AMD seems to be better in linux. if money isn't an object would you switch to AMD or stick with the 4090? i use an Asus XG27AQDPG (27" 1440p oled) so 9070 xt should be plenty to drive it.

A very casual Windows vs Linux benchmark
Hi! I recently saw a video comparing the Arc B580 on Windows and Linux, and since there's so little content about that, I've decided to share my own experience in hopes of putting more, hopefully helpful data out there!
Short context about this experiment: I'm currently dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora 43 with KDE Plasma, the benchmarks are being done on the same drive (with the difference being formatting, Windows was using NTFS and Fedora was using EXT4 file system and different drivers). I only included average FPS without the lows because I couldn't get rivatuner to show anything on the low 1% or 0.1%. And apparently there are no stable Vulkan drivers with working ray tracing for the B580 so that's already a huge con for Intel Arc gamers.
DISCLAIMER: These tests aren't by all means professional, they're made by very casual gamer with little to no tinkering with the system, the reason the tests are made on the following games are simlpy because those are the games I own and play, the list is also small because I don't play that many games and some of them I couldn't get to run on Linux (like ZZZ or DOOM The Dark Ages). And lastly all games were using Proton Experimental (except Minecraft which ran natively)
Here are the 'puter specs: - Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE - AMD Ryzen 5 7600X - ASRock Arc B580 Steel Legend OC - G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB 2x16GB 5600MHz CL36 - Kingston M.2 PCIe Gen4 NVMe KC3000 2TB (this is the drive the games were tested on) - Corsair RMx Shift 850W - Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE White ARGB
Drivers for Windows: 32.0.101.8331 WHQL Drivers for Fedora: Mesa 25.2.7
Monitoring app for Windows: MSI Afterburner + RivaTuner Monitoring app for Fedora: MangoHUD
And here are the comparisons
Minecraft 1.21.11 (vanilla), regular survival gameplay - highest graphics settings 16 chunks render distance 12 chunks simulation distance Windows 1440p - 318 FPS Windows 1080p - 311 FPS Fedora 1440p - 383 FPS Fedora 1080p - 381 FPS
Cyberpunk, benchmarking tool - highest settings, no upscaling Windows 1440p - 62 FPS Windows 1080p - 91 FPS Fedora 1440p - 42 FPS Fedora 1080p - 64 FPS
Black Myth Wukong, benchmarking tool - high settings, FSR super resolution 35 Windows 1440p - 62 FPS Windows 1080p - 68 FPS Fedora 1440p - 47 FPS Fedora 1080p - 52 FPS
Monster Hunter Wilds benchmarking tool - high preset, no upscaling Windows 1440p - 38 FPS Windows 1080p - 41 FPS Fedora 1440p - 28 FPS Fedora 1080p - 37 FPS
7 Days to Die regular gameplay - ultra preset, no upscaling Windows 1440p - 68 FPS Windows 1080p - 107 FPS Fedora 1440p - 66 FPS Fedora 1080p - 109 FPS
Slime Rancher 2 regular gameplay (running around exploring) - highest settings Windows 1440p - 90 FPS Windows 1080p - 116 FPS Fedora 1440p - 70 FPS Fedora 1080p - 100 FPS
In conclusion, I might need to tinker with Linux to get better frames, or I just have to wait for better driver support to have better experience, but overall Linux is not doing terrible! If you have any questions or feedback, I'll happily answer~! Also I can't promise I'll try more games, but in case I'll ever post an update to this post, feel free to comment any suggestions!
